Doom Porn!



Are we living in the end times? Is global warming about to kill us? Is hyperinflation just around the corner? Are the doom and gloom blogs correct?

I have to admit that I have always secretly enjoyed reading disaster scenarios and predictions. It is morbidly exciting to think a Mad Max world is just around the corner. We tend to enjoy apocalyptic visions. But do such doom and gloom scenarios reflect reality?

In my 45 years, I have noticed that pretty much all these wild doomsday scenarios fail to materialize. The sky really doesn’t fall and we go on with our usual petty concerns. I suppose it is more exciting, and comforting, to imagine that not only we are nearing death as individuals, but the entire world will soon end. However, I suspect the world will continue just fine after we are all gone.
